Limni beach
Limni (Paleopolis) is the largest beach of the island of Kythira, covered with a mixture of red pebbles and white sand. Its infrastructure is limited to a dirt road and improvised parking. But not everything is so bad - a few kilometers from the shore there is a restaurant and fifty hotels.

Beach description
Limni is popular among the nudists. Annually, it attracts hundreds of people who want to lounge in the sun without too much convention. People also come here to bathe in a clean and deep-sea, wander along the wild beach, explore uninhabited bays.
The beach is characterized by a strong wind, a smooth depth difference and cloudless weather. It is not suitable for vacation with children due to the lack of lifeguards and basic infrastructure. Its surface can be walked barefoot, but slippers are recommended for completely safety of the feet.
Limni is located 3 km west of the village of Avlemonas. You can reach this place by private transport, bus or taxi. A little tip: Take an umbrella with you to avoid sunburns due to the hot sun of Kitira.
When is the best time to go?
Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.
